got the power run to and hooked up in to the 14×70 yesterday afternoon at about dark. No smoke and only kicked one breaker while trying to find the right wire for a light switch.

parlor stove in and working. can wall done and dry or almost so. building can be secured now so not as worried about leaving things in there.

built a saw buck to peel the pine logs on. got 3 peeled already using drawknives.

slowly, slowly eats the elephant…

got to get back on the addition here now. will try to get the section under the end of the mobile home started tomorrow. or not.

need to get the van packed and ready for the trip to Florence either saturday or sunday or both for the Alabama Renaissance Faire .

still going…

tuesday bits

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

got the parlor stove installed and working in the 14×70. took 32 rows of cans 12 wide to fill the opening. about 4.5 80 lb bags of quickcrete sand topping mix at the point I am now. Got a bit more to do on the edges on the inside and another layer on both the outside and inside but hands are hurting too bad to try anymore right now.

limbs cleared off the trees the power wire will be hanging in. got the chainsaw, fuel and oil in the truck now waiting for hands to quiet down a bit before going at the pines, poplar, and sweet gum that are in the way. was going to clear them anyway later but get to do it sooner…
